I have a swollen preauricular lymph node. it's hard, doesn't move, and hurts. how long should i let it go before i see a doctor? primary care or ent?

That location: really doesn't have lymph nodes, they are found postauricular or along jaw line, so i would be concerned about cyst or tumor. I would head to primary care if it doesn't clear in 2 -3 weeks.
